They seem to work fine. Try clearing your cache.

Haha, sweet. I would still try narrowing down the exact port that way you don't have any problems with any other applications since you're blocking an entire range. Like I said before, try using "netstat -an". Post 5800.

Very confused as to what you're asking. Are you saying some web pages load but others don't?

1. Uninstall it. 2. Delete the installer. 3. Block the download site using the HOSTS file or a domain blocking tool/filter. 4. Make her account limited. 5. Block the ports listed on this page: http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/arch...ic/32407-1.html Those might not be all the ports. I did an additional search and it came up with ports such as 8484, 8485, 8585, etc... but I'm not 100% sure... You could always run "netstat -an" (without the quotes) to find what port it is running under.

Are you sure you want to do this? Disabling those pop-ups might leave you vulnerable to malware. In any case, you'd only have to adjust the security settings in IE. See screen shot below.

Hmmm... In that case, why not try this? http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootfromusbstick.php You'd have to extract the bootsector from the XP CD and apply it to the USB drive. Not sure if it'll work, but I don't see why, since the XP CD's bootsector is basically a floppy file...

I believe you would have to first remove XP from computer A, install it on computer B, and activate it by calling up Microsoft. The activation screen will provide more information.

I believe whenever you login to a new account, there is something in winnt.sif that is loaded and overwrites whatever is in the registry. You might be able to solve this problem with Tweak UI.

Your Samba configuration file (on the Linux box) should have a line in it like the following for the share you have set up: If it doesn't, change it to read that way or add the line in it. An easier way to manage Samba shares on a Linux box would be to install SWAT (Samba Web Administration Tool), but I won't really get into that.

A quick Google resulted in finding this article: http://www.vandomburg.net/articles/2006/03...ows-xp-from-usb It describes how to install XP using a USB drive. It MIGHT be possible to follow the guide to install Windows 2003 instead. I'm not 100% sure on this.

Well, not exactly true - Windows 2003 x64 and Windows XP x64 are both running the exact same 5.2.3790 kernel. Right, but the features in each one of them distinguishes one from the other.

Windows XP = Desktop OS Windows 2003 = Server OS It's as simple as that! Yes, Windows 2003 has some performance tweaks here and there but you can achieve the same result with Windows XP by doing a little research and by slimming it down with nLite. If you REALLY want to use Windows 2003 as a server OS, legally that is, you would have to purchase it for approximately $1000 US, whereas Windows XP only costs about a tenth of that price. If money isn't a factor, then this might help you convert your legally purchased version of W2K3 into a "workstation" OS.

Hehe. That put a smile on my face! However... [ Topic moved to the Funny Farm. ]

I was just thinking the exact same thing. I will discuss this with one of the admins. Edit: Rating system removed.

You have to go to "My Network Places" and click on "View workgroup computers" in order to view a list of all of your computers. Otherwise, you can browse to a specific computer by opening up any Explorer window ("My Computer", as an example) and typing in the name of the computer you're trying to access as follows: \\computernamehere Replace computernamehere with the name of the computer you're trying to access. Hope this helps.

(From http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_...Q_21843287.html ) Solution 1: Solution 2: Are you running Zone Alarm by any chance? That thread contained a post about Zone Alarm causing the problem. If you have it, disable it for the time being and see if you can run msconfig. Suggestion: I suggest completely moving the startup files in Start > All Programs > Startup and backing them up somewhere as well as exporting the startup keys in the registry and then deleting them. I'm not too much of a fan of msconfig when it comes to disabling startup items.

Have you tried running it like this? If that doesn't work, then your net.exe file has somehow disappeared or been moved elsewhere.

sorry, but i dont trust everything on the net... how do i know that they haven't moded it - eg added virurs or spyware (custom done, so that anti virus doesnt pick it up?) is this right? cmdline.txt - is during windows setup? around 13 mins to the end? svpack.ink - is during windows setup? around 12 mins to the end? runonceex - ??? [guirunonce] - is this when you first log on? If you don't trust everything on the net, then how could you possibly trust nLite? The reason we know that they haven't modded the applications is because of the amount of people that have been using them. Also, we would never allow such a thing to happen at MSFN. If you want to do everything from scratch, go here.

Jeremy, yes, searching does do wonders... But he isn't looking for a VoIP solution. He wants to use his dial-up modem to call out and use his microphone as a voice input device. But yes... Skype is a great alternative to using a modem or landline. Trixbox is great as well, but a little harder to setup.

And for Yahoo!, the only way to do it would be by following this: http://help.yahoo.com/mail/pop/pop-06.html

Couple of short answers for you... I've only used Nessus on Windows and Mac OS X. 1. Not that I know of. But the obvious answer would be that one runs on Linux and one on Windows! 2. I don't see why not. 3. As long as there is a minimal amount of traffic on the network at the time that you are scanning, you should be alright. I don't see what damage it could do if it is only looking for vulnerabilities. 4. Not in my experience. Unless you have some kind of filtering system installed on your network, you should be OK. Otherwise, I suggest adding it to the domain.

Batch files and Sync Toy will work, but you would have to be present for Sync Toy to work (since there are no switches for it to copy automatically). As for the batch file, you would need to be logged on, but have a scheduled task setup instead.

Look for a sticker of some sort that might look like it's covering a screw. If you find a screw under a sticker, grab the appropriate screwdriver and open it up. Otherwise, you're going to need a thin flathead screwdriver in order to pry the case open. Like bonestonne said, look for a seam between the two pieces of plastic keeping the case together. This is where you'll pry it open. Be EXTREMELY gentle when doing this, otherwise you might end up damaging the case and possibly the hard drive as well.

If you have a spare hard drive somewhere, put it into your problematic computer, install XP on it and any other programs you think might be causing the problem and see if the problem reoccurs. Be sure to do a full format, not a quick one. If the problem reoccurs, then you've got yourself a hard drive problem. Otherwise... Well... It's something else. This might be time consuming, but if you want your computer working 100% of the time, then it's definitely worth.
